The AjA Project

The mission of the AjA Project is to empower refugee and underprivileged youth through educational programs and to help them create better opportunities for their future. The AjA Project fulfills their mission by fostering a sense of belonging and self-worth in refugee youth, as they develop valuable vocational, technical, and photography skills.

The AjA Project is based in San Diego and currently operates and supports three programs and one traveling exhibition. The programs include, Journey in San Diego, Record of Truth in Thailand/Burma and Disparando Cámaras para la Paz (Shooting Cameras for Peace) in Colombia. AjA is an acronym for supporting self-sufficiency in Spanish: Autosuficiencia Juntada con Apoyo. Links
